Quick and Pretty Mason Jar Vase

I'm using some new paints from Plaid for this piece, you can use whatever color paint you like. I recommend using a multi-surface paint to ensure the paint adheres to the glass well. Also, a multi-purpose paint tends to be a little more durable when used with projects that you want to wash or handle frequently.

The fabulous thing about this paint is the amazing color variations you'll get in one application. You don't need to layer colors or do anything fancy or complicated. Just apply a single coat of paint and see how it shines and shifts the color. The paint comes in a variety of colors and sizes, here's a sample from Amazon.

Instructions

Paint the mason jar. I like to hold the jar with my hand inside so I can turn the jar as I paint. My whole hand doesn't fit, so I place just a few fingers in the jar. Allow the first coat of paint to dry. Add additional coats of paint if you would like a more opaque finish. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Wrap twine around the neck of the jar. Apply glue as you go to hold twine in place. If you'd like coat the twine with Mod Podge to seal it in place.

Allow the entire project to dry.

Fill with flowers and enjoy.

I filled my vase with faux flowers so my pretty decor would last longer. I seem to have a problem remembering to water plants around here… so I have a bunch of pretty vases with not so pretty flowers. Fake flowers for the win!
